Something is Burning

Malachi 4:1-3

A day to come the earth burns as an oven,
As the proud and wicked God will chasten;
Being considered as stubble to be burned,
As God leaves no root or branch unturned;
Those who fear God a righteous sun rises,
With healing wings that the Lord advises;
And for going forth to grow up as a calf,
To tread on wicked with your master's staff.
The day of reckoning shall be coming soon,
As a butterfly spreads out of its cocoon,
To all of those with pride and full of evil,
They will be dealt with upon His arrival;
God's patience will be wearing very thin,
Showing no mercy of those with full of sin;
The righteous sun will rise as a new day,
With wings that heal all of those who obey;
In those who have clean hearts and minds,
As His love showers upon us as it binds;
Take to heart as you heed this warning,
Maybe you if smelling something burning.
